Opis

This book gestures toward a future in which, through a more nuanced and productive discourse, we can better support Jewish educators and students and engage Jewish members of the discipline as better accomplices in antiracism.

Recenzje

"I take this book personally. Grayson's theoretical framework, historical overview, personal anecdotes, and phenomenological research locate antisemitism nestled in the heart of the white supremacist imaginary. I felt such sadness, anger, and pain reading this book-recognizing myself as a Jew in its stark reflection-and yet her words also charge me, explicitly in my Jewishness, with the urgent need to join others in imagining a more just world through cooperative action and frank dialogue. It's a powerful and vibrant contribution to our field." -Eli Goldblatt, Co-Author, with David Jolliffe, of Literacy as Conversation: Learning Networks in Urban and Rural Communities
